(Seoul=Yonhap News) Reporter Sin Seon-mi = Lotte Mart and Lotte Super announced on the 23rd that they will hold the Lotte Grocery Shopping Festival 'Thank You Festival' from the 30th of this month until the 12th of next month. The Thank You Festival is a combined online and offline promotion involving Lotte Mart and Lotte Super, which operate the grocery business within Lotte Shopping [023530], as well as warehouse discount store MAXX and online mall Lotte Mart ZETTA. This event, now in its third year, has established itself as the largest annual event representing Lotte's grocery business. Lotte Mart and Lotte Super have decided to offer more than double the usual number of items at half price across all product categories, from essential foods to alcohol, household goods, and miscellaneous items. Lotte Mart will sell all beef items at half price during the first week of the event, from the 30th of this month until the 5th of next month. This includes not only first-grade beef but also the highest-grade beef 'Marvel Nine', which was directly procured by the livestock product manager (MD) through an auction. Additionally, despite the high interest rate situation, Lotte Mart will hold a 'King Crab Half-Price Event', offering the lowest price of the year. Lotte Super will also hold its largest annual beef discount event during the same period. In addition, Lotte Mart will hold daily super-special events, offering products with discounts of up to 60%, and will also sell planned products. Furthermore, various promotions will be held, including providing coupons that reduce the payment amount further. sun@yna.co.kr

Core Insight: The latest trade data shows that from January to August 2025, China imported a total of 23,300 tons of live crabs from Russia, marking a 20% year-on-year increase and setting a new historical high for the same period. Although the average landed price fell by over 20% year-on-year to $25.92 per kilogram, the robust growth in quantity completely offset the impact of the price decline, keeping the overall trade value at a high level.

5.5.3 The red crab trap (2), which is a nearshore trap with a diameter of 3 to 12 mm wire, has a conical large frame shape when viewed from the front, and is covered with a net made of PE Td260 27-stitch net with a mesh size of 125 mm or more, creating a single plastic entrance at the top. It is used to lure and catch target organisms by placing bait in the trap. Compared to the red crab trap (1) used in coastal areas, it is somewhat smaller in size and is used in nearshore areas. When arriving at the fishing ground, the traps set during the previous voyage are lifted first. During lifting, the engine of the boat is stopped, and the boat advances as the warp is reeled in by the power of the winch, with the warp guided by the guide roller located at the bow port side.
